Radler59 · CC BY-SA 4.0 Why visit
A hilltop castle and picturesque South Moravian town of Baroque landmarks, Jewish heritage and limestone-hill views. Mikulov developed beneath a noble castle on a strategic route near the Austrian border and became an important centre of Moravian Jewish and aristocratic life. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Mikulov or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.
What you will see
- Castle terrace views.
- Historic square.
- Jewish quarter and Holy Hill backdrop.
